We are encountering a bug with the insure compiler that didn't use to happen in previous versions(eg. v6).The insure compiled program is ignoring the -fwritable-strings option and crashes during runtime.We are using the linux build from 2005-01-31 of insure++ v7.0. There actually seems to be a number of problems with v7.0, for example, the linker is pulling in many more libraries than the regular linker would normally(this didn't happen in v6.0 either). But the -fwritable-strings option is the biggest problem for me right now. I know that changing a constant string is a great sin, but it is not something we can easily change in our code base.
